Rear Shock Springs for Carpet and Astro

For racers operating on high-traction carpet or astro turf, the Serpent 500358 Purple Shock Springs refine SRX2 1/10 off-road car dynamics. These springs are produced from quality spring steel and are suited to setups that benefit from a lower ride height.

High-Quality Materials and Matching

Manufactured using durable spring steel, the springs are matched and colour-coded for quick identification. The purple marking denotes the 2.2lbs rate, which aims to provide a firmer chassis while retaining enough give for minor surface irregularities.

Applications and Advantages

Serpent 500358 springs are made for SRX2 family 1/10 vehicles and are targeted at high-grip track surfaces. Using these springs to lower ride height can reduce body roll and sharpen steering response on flat, grippy layouts.

Replace springs if you notice permanent deformation, uneven performance, or a loss of rebound control. Regular inspection after crashes will catch wear early.
Yes, the purple mark corresponds to the 2.2lbs rating for this Serpent 500358 batch, but always verify against the product listing or packaging when buying spares.
A firmer 2.2lbs spring reduces sag and can limit extreme travel, which is useful on flat circuits but less suitable for very rough layouts where more compression is needed.
Tune damping to complement the spring rate; lighter shock oil works well for quicker response while heavier oil adds mid-speed control. Test changes incrementally to find the best balance.
They can work on high-grip tarmac, but results depend on surface abrasiveness and tyre choice. Expect less compliance over bumps compared with softer spring rates.
